episode Keeping the Black Cab Rapist Behind Bars, with Carrie Johnson cover

Description

In 2009, John Warboys - the so-called black cab rapist - was convicted and jailed, believed to have attacked more than 100 women, making him one of Britain's most prolific sex offenders. Nearly twenty years later, ITV's drama Believe Me has brought his crimes back into the national conversation. Host Nicola Thorpe speaks to two of those survivors: Carrie Johnson, who has written about her experience for the Mail, and "Sarah", who has chosen to remain anonymous. Together, they describe what it took to keep Warboys behind bars - a crowdfunded judicial review that put them at risk of losing their homes if they lost - and the landmark changes to parole board transparency that their campaign helped bring about. This is a story about female friendship, and a justice and policing system that still has a long way to go. Host: Nicola Thorp Producer: Artemis Irvine Content Editor: Joseph Palmer Executive Producer: Bella Soames A Daily Mail production.

Beckham vs Beckham: The Next Chapter

David Beckham was handed a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this month, flanked by Victoria, Tom Cruise and three of his four children. The fourth, Brooklyn, was nowhere to be seen. Six months on from the explosive Instagram statement that tore the lid off the family's private war, the rift is only getting messier, with a "choreographed" doorstep visit from sister Harper and a reported £750,000 DoorDash advert that pokes fun at Brooklyn's own estrangement. Daily Mail Showbusiness Editor Katie Hind joins Jamie East on Deep Dive to unpack the latest chapter in Britain's unofficial Royal Family saga and ask where it goes from here.

Iran's Exiled Crown Prince: The Iranian People Feel Betrayed by Trump's Deal

After American and Israeli airstrikes killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in February, many wondered whether Iran's theocratic regime was finally facing collapse. That came after tens of thousands of protesters had died earlier in the year rising up against the regime. But four months later, the US has signed an interim peace deal extending the ceasefire between the two countries. That deal has drawn criticism from Donald Trump's Republican Party and Reza Pahlavi - the son of the last Shah who the ayatollahs deposed in order to take power, forcing him into exile for the last 46 years. In this episode, the Mail's Middle East correspondent Natalie Lisbona sits down with Mr. Pahlavi to discuss what the deal means for ordinary Iranians. Pahlavi argues the regime cannot be reformed, only replaced, and warns that rewarding it with sanctions relief and billions in unfrozen funds provides a financial lifeline that will simply fuel its proxies abroad while executions and repression continue at home.

Are Reform Losing Steam?

Andy Burnham has won a landslide in the Makerfield by-election, a result that puts him in a commanding position ahead of the looming Labour leadership contest. Reform came second with 35%, with Restore Britain - the hardline party founded by Great Yarmouth MP Rupert Lowe after his explosive fallout with Nigel Farage - taking 7%, votes that may otherwise have gone to Reform. Earlier this week, host Chris Pleasance spoke to the Daily Mail's policy editor Martin Beckford about Restore Britain, to ask: with the right of British politics fracturing, is Reform losing momentum?

Can Britain Defend Itself?

A broken down aircraft carrier. An entire fleet of hunter-attack submarines unfit for war. Dozens of RAF jet pilots stuck in a training backlog. Why are Britain’s armed forces plagued by disaster and delay? This week, defence editor Mark Nicol has been writing about the dire state of Britain’s armed forces, leading the Daily Mail’s Don’t Leave Britain Defenceless campaign. He joins Deep Dive host Chris Pleasance to discuss the near year-long delay to the government's Defence Investment Plan and what Britain's armed forces need to do to prepare for a world where Russia could attack NATO as early as 2030.
